Japanese Party Sees Seats Surge from 1 to 14, Leader Dubbed 'Japan's Trump'
In a surprising election outcome, a Japanese political party has seen its seats in the House of Councillors increase from 1 to 14. The party's leader, Sohei Kamiya, has been dubbed 'Japan's Trump' due to his advocacy for exclusionary protectionist policies, which have made foreign investors apprehensive.
As foreign investments regard the party's policies with caution, the number of immigrants from China has also caused concern, with projections suggesting that the number of residents from China could exceed one million this year. This situation not only affects the willingness of foreign investments but has also raised anxiety among local residents, resulting in greater social divides.
